"Him? Seriously?"

---------------------------------------------------------

"I'm doing fine, Ms. Wrinkleberry." Seungmin responded after setting his things down. "That's great to hear!" The kind lady smiled softly as Seungmin hummed in agreement.

A couple minutes of silence passed by, only the sounds of papers rustling and writing was heard until Ms. Wrinkleberry spoke once again. "Seungmin-ssi, would you like to help me with something before class starts? We just have around ten minutes until everyone comes in."

Seungmin nodded as he got up to approach the teacher. "Brilliant! I would like you to take these name tags I have right here and stick one of them on each desk." Ms. Wrinkleberry explained. 

"It doesn't matter who goes where, but I would like you to know that there's a couple of names on there that I would recommend keeping farther or closer to you. Like.. take Hwang Hyunjin. Personally, I feel like his mostly one of the best options to keep closer to your desk since his a polite, friendly, and respectful young man." 

Seungmin continued to listen as he flipped through all of the names. "How about Lee Felix? Or Han Jisung?" He asked, looking up from the deck of twenty name tags.

Ms. Wrinkleberry smiled, she was quite glad that he was willing to communicate this easily. From what Seungmin's parents said, he never talked to his teachers so easily. "Hmm," She hummed softly, thinking.

"Lee Felix is a really bright person. You can describe him as a sunshine. I had his older sister in my class last year, they're basically the same people! Just one younger and one older." Her words were as smooth as butter when they came out. "Although, Han Jisung is a lovely person too. Those three are the only people that actually decided to talk when it came to meeting their parents,"

Seungmin nodded to show that he was still actively listening. "I think I got it now, thank you." He said in a soft voice, barely above a whisper now as he walked off to the nearest desk. 

A couple minutes pass and he finally got closer to his desk. There was one in front of his, one beside his, and then one beside the one in front of his desk. Seungmin looked at the three names left over and thought back to when Ms. Wrinkleberry explained their personalities briefly.

After maybe around two to three minutes of thinking, he decided it was best to but Felix in front of his desk, Jisung beside Felix, and Hyunjin beside his own desk. 

Right after Seungmin placed down the last name tag, the bell rang. 'Perfect timing.' Seungmin thought to himself.

When Ms. Wrinkleberry opened the door, there were already maybe ten students outside the door, waiting patiently. She stepped aside, letting the talking students in and taking their seats.

Seungmin got into his own seat, opening up a notebook that already had a couple used pages full of words on each page. He kept flipping the pages until he found a fresh, clean one. After he found a page to use, Seungmin pressed his hands on the page to flatten it out and then picked a sharpened pencil from his pencil bag.

His back slouched in his chair a bit, trying to ignore all of the chatting going on around him as he placed the tip of his pencil on the first line of the page. 

Seungmin began to write words that formed in his thoughts, knowing no one would bother to look at what he was writing anyway. Then, he felt someone approaching near him. He looked over to the used to be empty seat to spot a male replacing the air sitting neatly while talking to a blonde haired boy that sat diagonally from him.

Hyunjin sat down in his new seat after searching the classroom for his name and set down his stuff near him as he kept on talking to Felix, who was sadly sitting a bit far from him but at least he was near.

"This classroom is so neat!" Felix exclaimed, trying to keep his voice down though to avoid getting in trouble for being loud. 

Hyunjin laughed softly at Felix's excitement, not noticing Seungmin. "I know, the teacher also seems really nice." He pointed out. The two kept going back and forth about things they noticed and all of this other stuff. 

Seungmin wasn't exactly listening, he was blocking out all of the noise either way so it wasn't like he was listening in on anything even though they were talk basically in front of him. 

Even though Seungmin's sister once dated Hyunjin, Seungmin didn't exactly get to meet him properly since whenever his sister brought Hyunjin over, they would escape to her room before he even got to meet Hyunjin or even catch a glance of him.

All Seungmin knew was that Hyunjin was in eighth grade like him when his sister just started high school. But, to be honest, Seungmin didn't even know how they met like that. 

"I'm so glad we get to sit close to the windows th-.." Hyunjin stopped when he finally realized who was sitting by him. Kim Seungmin. "Uhm.. sorry. I got a bit distracted!" He blurted out, trying not to seem suspicious.

"Oh don't worry! I always do that." Felix smiled brightly. 

"Class! Can I please get your attention?" Ms. Wrinkleberry finally yelled out. The room became silent and all attention went on her. "Thank you. Good morning! I'm sure you guys know some of these people from either them being in your class last year or just as your friends, or some might be new." 

"I only assumed that from all of the chattering earlier, but anyways! Were going to go around the class to introduce ourselves. Say your name and one thing about yourself. It can be anything, just make it school appropriate!" She smiled. "Let's start with.. you. In the front row, closest to the window!"

All attention went on a black haired female. "Oh! Uh, my name is Chaeryeong and I like writing." She stuttered out, not thinking she would go first. "Wonderful! Then I think you will like my class." Ms. Wrinkleberry sent a playful wink and moved onto the next person.
